Gwydion Dylan 2.3.2 Release

Hi!

zathras.randomhacks.com is still down, and so are our mailing lists. Originally I had planned to wait until they are back up before the next release, in order to coordinate with the other maintainers. But I'm a little impatient, and decided to do it _now_. I assume all the important people are reading this group anyways.

So I've tagged the CVS tree with GD_2_3_2, and put the official 2.3.2 source tree on the FTP server:

ftp://berlin.ccc.de/pub/gd/src/gwydion-dylan-2.3.2.tar.gz

You know the routine, please upload the binaries/packages for your respective platforms to:

ftp://berlin.ccc.de/pub/gd/incoming

I would appreciate it if someone with better English skills than me writes an official release announcement. Otherwise I'll come up with something.

The major new feature of 2.3.2, for all the people who are not involved in the development process, is that Peter Housel kicked out the assembler based heap generation and replaced it by C file generation, which also finally makes shared library support work (at least on those platforms where the Boehm-Weiser GC supports it, known to work is FreeBSD at the moment).
